So it’s been a while. I know, I know. But I’ve been enjoying my last couple weeks in Germany! October 28 and 29 was spent in Dresden. Dr. Ellis took a group of us there for a day trip. Caitlin, Missie and I spent the night, so we could see what we didn’t get to [...]

September 30, 2011: Missie and I are in Salzburg! What should we do? Let’s go to the Mirabel Palace Gardens to start off our day. And here we are–there is a castle on a mountain! Let’s take a moment and stare in awe. There’s a castle in Salzburg? Unfathomable! Well, on the other hand, this [...]

Here is a collection of a lot of my pictures taken in Vienna and Salzburg. They are a bit out of order, since I went to Salzburg in the middle of my trip, but I’ll do my best to write where each picture is! Also, I apologize if the pictures are blurry. I tried to [...]

I am back from Vienna, finally. Almost everything went wrong on Tuesday.

So much has been happening. I have little time to blog! On Wednesday, I went to the Luther house here in Wittenberg. It was so amazing! I loved every minute of it. It was really neat to discover that I am about the same height that Luther was, and I’m Lutheran. My classmates thought that [...]

Location: Host family’s house Status: Content I know that I haven’t written in a while, but a lot has been happening. First of all, I went to Lübeck, Germany over the weekend. On Thursday a big group of us piled onto a train, and five trains and six hours later, we were in the beautiful [...]

Friday was absolutely fantastic. We planned a day trip to Halle and Leipzig, Germany. Why? To go to a chocolate museum in Halle. And to go shopping/to the Bach Museum/ to an 800-year-old boys’ choir Motet in Leipzig. A day full of chocolate and music? It’s a dream come true!
